INTRODUCTION
My many years of Professional activities and social interaction talking to a number of Professional Electrical Engineers
and old and young Electrical Engineers from the consulting, electrical installation and contracting industry, as well as
Plant Electrical Engineers from the manufacturing sectors, I gained the strong impression that there was one need
which had not really been fulfilled and satisfied. This was the need to conduct a comprehensive training course on the
Code of Practice for Electrical Installation – CP5 for all interested parties involved in the electrical industry.
OBJECTIVES
The code of practice for electrical installation – CP5 applies to the design, selection, erection, testing and inspection of
electrical installations. It covers all general commercial and industrial electrical installations operating at voltage up to
1000 Volts. Its main objective is to provide safety from fire, shocks and burns.
There are a total of seven parts which make up the Code - CP5:
Part 1 – Scope, objective and fundamental requirements for safety
Part 2 – Definitions of terms used in the Code- CP5
Part 3 – Assessment of general characteristics
Part 4 – Protection for safety
Part 5 – Selection and Erection of equipment
Part 6 – Special installation or locations
Part 7 – Inspection and Testing and Seven (7) Appendices
The course aims to provide participants with a thorough knowledge and understanding of the Code of Practice with
explanations backed by basic electrical engineering theory why certain regulations are written and worded in a way
seen less obvious for the average person.
Note – Participants taking this course must bring their own copy of the Code of Practice CP5.
COURSE OUTLINE
